Totally agree with Pat. I have two intact female B's. They are NOT the best of friends and have to be watched constantly. They are never alone together. Yes, they've gotten into knock-down drag-out fights. I've been in the ring with slit throats, chewed up ears, scabs, etc. Not a good idea at all. I can control it simply because I watch them constantly and when they start to show signs of aggression, one goes into the crate. But it's not easy, it's stressful on everyone, and I really don't recommend it.

They have the exact same expression. That's wild. Now let someone tell me a B isn't smart! 🙂

@Patty:

I totally agree with Jess about over washing - after all basenjis are perfectly good at keeping themselves reasonably clean and shouldn't need bathing every week - in my opinion too it's not good for the coat.

I'm wary of using a dremel and sometimes when one of you are dremelling at a show when I'm there I'd be grateful if you'd show me how you do it! I brought a dremel a few years ago and its still in its box unused!!!

The secret to the dogs co-operating with the dremel is bribery! Mine queue up because they want the treat.

I use the Dremel all the time at home, I have 4 B's that aren't shown at the moment! If its an indoor show and you just briefly dremel the nails they look super clean when they go in the ring!

Yes, she wouldnt go in till Sophie started swimming away from her lol.

What wonderful little men you have..they look so cute together.

Cow girl bebe…. if you do happen to re-visit here, can you kindly tell us how your puppy is doing? 🙂

As a newbie to the breed, I appreciate that all of the information is contained in one spot. It is great to be able to get a broad range of opinions in one thread.

Glad you found us..we love photos..
